This is a framing of the rich complex of nebulosity in and around the constellations of northern Cygnus and southern Cepheus, in a blend of "white light" images and images shot through a deep red hydrogen-alpha filter that isolates the red emission line from the gas clouds, bringing them out in much more detail than is otherwise possible.
The North America Nebula (NGC 7000) and adjacent Pelican Nebula (IC 5070) are below centre beside blue Deneb. The Gamma Cygni complex, IC 1318, is at lower right. The main nebula at top left is IC 1396 in Cepheus. The Cocoon Nebula lies at the end of the long dark strreak, B168, left of centre. The wispy streak at bottom left is Sharpless 2-126, aka the Great Lacerta Nebula, though it does not look too great here! It is one of many faint arcs and patches of emission nebulosity that litter the field. The dark area below Deneb is the Northern Coal Sack. The darker region above Deneb is the Funnel Cloud Nebula, aka LeGentil 3. The bright area at lower right in the Milky Way is the Cygnus Starcloud, a region less obscured by dark interstellar dust.
This is a blend of: a stack of 14 x 5-minute exposures at f/2 and ISO 3200 with the Canon Ra equipped with a clip-in Astronomik 12nm H-alpha filter, plus a stack of 6 x 2-minute exposures at f/2.8 and ISO 1600, with the latter shot through a front-mounted URTH broadband filter to help block skyglow and gradients. All with the Canon RF 28-70mm lens at 50mm and on the Star Adventurer tracker for tracked but unguided shots taken from home October 2, 2022 on a very clear and mild night. Dew spoiled the last of the white light images, thus I used only the first 6 for the stack. The dew added the natural star glows. The initial H-alpha shots were taken with the waxing crecent Moon still up.
All stacking, alignment and blending in Photoshop. Luminosity masks applied with Lumenzia. The H-alpha stack was layered in with a Screen blend mode and with its own adjustment layers and masks, and colorized with a Hue-Saturation layer. The H-alpha data was not added by replacing the red channel, as that provides no control of the blend of the H-alpha image. A mild and masked Orton Glow effect added with Luminar AI.
The bright Cygnus Starcloud (at right) and collection of red emission nebulas in central Cygnus, including the North America Nebula (NGC 7000) at left near the bright star Deneb. The dark Northern Coalsack is to the right of the North America Nebula. The IC 1318 emission nebula complex is at centre. The star cluster NGC 6819, aka The Foxhead, is at far right. The cluster NGC 6866, aka The Kite, is to the left of 6819. At top right is the cluster NGC 6811.
This is a stack of 4 x 2-minute exposures at f/2.8 with the Rokinon 85mm RF lens on the Canon EOS Ra camera at ISO 1600, and through the Kase Neutral Night broadband filter, with an additional exposure layered in taken through a Kase/Alyn Wallace StarGlow filter for the glows. Taken from the Alberta Star Party site September 3, 2021, with the camera on the Star Adventurer Mini tracker. Stacked, aligned and blended in Photoshop.

The North America Nebula (NGC 7000) and adjacent Pelican Nebula (IC 5070) are at upper left beside blue Deneb. The Veil Nebula, a supernova remnant, and catalogued as NGC 6995 and NGC 6960 for the main arcs, is at lower left. The Gamma Cygni complex, IC 1318, is at centre. However, the field is littered with other faint arcs and patches of emission nebulosity. The dark area below Deneb is the Northern Coal Sack. The bright area at lower right in the Milky Way is the Cygnus Starcloud, a region less obscured by dark interstellar dust. The "beak" star of Cygnus, Albireo, is at lower right, so the framing takes in most of Cygnus and all of the Northern Cross asterism.
This is a blend of: a stack of 20 x 5-minute exposures at f/2 and ISO 3200 with the Canon Ra equipped with a clip-in Asrtronomik 12nm H-alpha filter, plus a stack of 25 x 2-minute exposures at f/2.8 and ISO 1600, with the latter shot through a front-mounted URTH broadband filter to help block skyglow and gradients. All with the Canon RF 28-70mm lens at 70mm and on the Star Adventurer tracker for tracked but unguided shots taken from home October 1, 2022 on a very clear and mild night for a total of 150 minutes of exposure. The initial H-alpha shots were taken with the waxing crecent Moon still up.

This open star cluster can be found in the constellation of Cygnus the Swan. Also known as the Foxhead cluster. First discovered by Caroline Herschel on the 12th of May 1784, NGC 6819 is estimated to be over 7,000 light years away from us.
Fox and Bunny talk about all the interesting things in the forest, while enjoying a lovely cup of tea.
Fox wanted to shoot some portraits of Bunny in the forest with his good old camera. (This should be an album cover!)
For Miabella Foxley of m.fox! She asked me to draw a picture that included, among a list of possibilites and themes, rabbit or fox masks. Here's the result!
An open star cluster also called the Foxhead cluster, though like most of these names, I don't see it. Quite a number of red giant stars hide in this cluster.
NGC 6819 lies 7,200 light years from us in the constellation of Cygnus the Swan.

"It's the end of summer and I can feel the temperature dropping like a stone every passing day,
down to 4°C (39.2°F) by Saturday so today could be one of our last warm days..." ~Tomitheos

The Foxhead Cluster (NGC 6819). NGC 6819 is an open star cluster located 7,200 light years away in the Cygnus constellation.
Once again a rare clear night coincided with the full Moon lighting up the sky so a nice, bright, non-nebulous open cluster was tonight's target. This was also an opportunity to check the system and re-enter the many settings that were lost when the computer disastrously crashed at Kelvedon Common recently. Fortunately things seem to be working properly again now.

The building that spans the 2500 block of W. Armitage Avenue formerly housed during the 1950s what was said to be the employer of mob boss Tony Accardo. The Big Tuna's claim he was simply a beer salesman came from the reported $65,00/year (about $650,000 in today's dollars) salary plus commissions on sales of Fox Head Beer paid by the company.
